Posting Posterous Prolifically

John Lessnau • June 13, 2010 • Comments (0)

Fit snugly between micro-blogging and macro blogging are services like Posterous and Tumblr that give you more posting flexibility without the heavy lifting of creating a wordpress blog post and the limitations of Twitter or Facebook.

I just started a Posterous blog called the Ramblings of John Lessnau. I am going to use this mini-blog to post quick thoughts and ideas and use the mothership, Lessnau.com, to post more in-depth stuff. What’s nice about Posterous is that it integrates seamlessly with Twitter and Facebook, so when you want to give your followers just a bit more information it will tell them where to find it. I also like the way it makes posting from mobile devices a snap.

For now I am just testing it out. What really got me motivated was the Google Caffeine update which gives Google the ability to instantly index and rank new web content. I figure posting more frequent quick thoughts will take better advantage of the new Google algorithm rather than just doing monthly blog posts here. It’ll be interesting to see how my ‘Random thoughts‘ will rank at Posterous. If they do well I’ll keep it going, if not, I’ll shut it down since I have enough to do already.

Let me know if you use Posterous or Tumblr and how you like it.
